This looks better than Wii graphics, and that is sad.

That looks damned good. 
 
It also looks boring as hell to me, but if it works well online I can see some Monster Hunter style love happening in Japan.

So they made a game out of an extra mode on the consoles? 
 
That's not enough content, nor is it particularly compelling.

I was hoping for an actual story. I feel like this it a time trial pack.

Hunk totally pulled a Rosa Klebb with a knife in his shoe. He seems pretty knife crazy in this game all around. I hope he still has his neck snap move from RE4. That was always entertaining.

I don't know anything about the Mercenaries mode, anyone care to fill me in? 
from what im reading though it looks like Capcom decided to take the "this is a handheld game" route of stripping it of all the features, which as far as I'm aware isn't necessary on the 3DS.

The game seems to be extreamly barebones but man, that looks really good for a handheld, it looks alot better then anything on the PSP. GOW might come close but this looks better imo, and it will be in 3D. 
 
I actually might pick up a 3DS when it comes out in Europe.

@buft: 
Mercenaries mode is kinda like a score attack feature where you try to kill as many enemies in a row as possible. You only have a limited amount of time, but you can hit hourglasses for more time. Basically, you have to divide your time between killing, grabbing items, and getting time bonuses.
 
Each character has a different set of weapons and melee moves. Sometimes they have crazy powers like Krauser, who had a crazy Tyrant-style mutated arm that blew through crowds of guys in an instant.
 
The tough part is when they throw in boss monsters like the chainsaw maniacs or other hard to kill dudes that either break your chain, or kill you instantly. It's actually a pretty great mode that I could see them making an entire game around if they fill it out with enough crazy Resident Evil stuff and secret characters.

Looks neat enough. I do hope it has more characters than that, though.

 There was some teaser image when this game was announced that showed silhouettes of characters like Wesker, Barry, Rebecca, Ada Wong, etc.  And it has the Mercenaries stages from both RE4 and RE5. Not seeing any features being "stripped."

If this just ends up being like what was on the console version of the games it will probably be a letdown.  If they expand it to have some sort of story mode or more in depth character progression perhaps...

Yay, Hunk is in it :D, he's my favorite character. Mainly because he's got nothing to do with the retard-ass story, and just stroll around kicking ass, most of the RE cast lose their awesome factor when they start talking.

 Mercenaries was a lot of fun in RE4 and RE5, but they seriously need to put it tons of content if they wanna make it a standalone game instead of an unlockable bonus. 
 
There really shouldn't be an excuse to leave out any of the previously playable Mercenaries characters.
 
So I expect to see in addition to Hunk, Claire, Krauser, and Chris: Leon, Ada, Barry, Sheva, Rebecca, Wesker, Excella, Josh, and Jill...and all the alternate costumes! ...also...TOFU!
 
 Also...not sure how I feel about the first-person aiming. I hope there's an option for the traditional third-person aiming as well.

Easily the best looking handheld game I've seen, and I love Claire's new design. I never really got in to Mercenary mode in 4 and 5 though, so I don't know if I'll be buying this.

 That's impressive.
 
I wish they would make a mercenaries based game for consoles too, just with loads more maps and more characters, maybe even include a forge editor type system too. I imagine most fans of mercenaries would be willing to buy it. 
 
This really makes me want a 3DS now. It looks like you can move while shooting in this too.

Would be excited for something slightly horrific on the new DS but with this franchise's last few entries being rather clunky in the control scheme, I feel that putting this on the DS will be even more clunky on a system like this. Guessing this one will sell well but will be traded in quite a lot. (could be wrong but that's my impressions on this)

On the other hand, RE is clunky because it started out before dual analog sticks was a thing. It feels clunky primarily because it doesn't let you use both sticks. The 3DS doesn't have two sticks, so it's probably a better fit!

Couldn't I just buy a copy of Resident Evil 4 and get all this content, alongside a single player campaign for much cheaper? Since you know...it's the exact same thing...
